Bitesize Ben - Ardnamurchan has really impressed me!
Ardnamurchan's reputation as a wild, rugged and beautiful peninsula is well deserved. On this, my first ever visit, I got sparkling sunshine, sandy beaches, enormous views and even the northern lights. Can't wait to go back!
Scotland's Wild West: Ardnamurchan
Join me on a trip to Scotland's Arnamurchan peninsula, the most westerly point of mainland Britain. I climb Ben Hiant, cook supper on the beach, fish from the rocks and kayak the beautiful bay of Camas nan Geall.
Visiting Beautiful Ardnamurchan in the Scottish Highlands
In this video I visit the beautiful Ardnamurchan Peninsula in the Scottish Highlands. I also stop off en-route to admire the hauntingly beautiful Rannoch Moor and the majestic Buachaille Etive Mor in Glen Coe. Remote, peaceful and serene, I was completely bowled over by the beauty of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and Sanna Bay. The trees, flora and fauna feel pristine and untouched and I can't wait to go back and discover more.
This video is part of my 'Life in Scotland' series, where I share what it's like to live and work in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Scotland road trip 2017 - Part 3, Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, engine room and tower tour
The rare opportunity to visit a light room of a lighthouse, providing you survive the stairs ....
As every years holiday, we went to Scotland in the Jeep and whichever way we go, it always ends with around 2500 miles on the clock.
This is a multi-part series in no particular order, i may do one short clip which outlines the route of this year (2017).
It's essentially a random mix of roads, ferries, villages, castles, distilleries, lighthouses and other stuff.
Just came back and there is so much footage to sort, so i can't tell right now how many clips we will end up with.
In this episode we visit the most westerly lighthouse on British mainland, the Ardnamurchan lighthouse.
This shows the full tower tour including climbing up the stairs, the view from the top and the engine room, enjoy !
The lighthouse is in active service since 1849 and owned by the Northern Lighthouse Board,
The engine room is mostly complete but not sure if the engines in running order or not. The Generator set certainly isn't.
The compressor set engines are Kelvin 2 cylinder Marine Diesels, not sure about their age as this type was produced from 1931 onwards.
The former keepers’ cottages and outbuildings have been managed by the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse Trust since 1996, luckily filming and photography was allowed everywhere.
As far as i know this is one of only 2 lighthouses in Scotland where you can do a light room tour.
One of the cottages is now a coffee shop, nice interior and doing really great coffees and scones.
Not quite easy to get there as it sits on a peninsula with essentially only one road leading towards. From the south, best route is via Isle of Mull which means at least 2 ferry crossings. Some impressions of our many ferry journeys will come soon as well.

Places to see in ( Tobermory - UK )
Tobermory is the capital of, and the only burgh on, the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. Tobermory is located in the northeastern part of the island, near the northern entrance of the Sound of Mull.
Many of the buildings on Main Street of Tobermory , predominantly shops and restaurants, are painted in various bright colours, making it a popular location for television programmes, such as the children's show Balamory. The burgh hosts the Mull Museum, the Tobermory whisky distillery (and from 2005 to 2009 there was also a brewery, the Isle of Mull brewing company) as well as Mull Aquarium, the first catch and release aquarium in Europe.
The clock tower on the harbour wall is a noted landmark. The town of Tobermory also contains an arts centre, An Tobar, the management of which was merged with Mull Theatre in 2012 to form the umbrella arts organisation Comar. The theatre remains, based just outside Tobermory in Drumfin, and is used by youth and adult dance and drama groups, hosting a wide variety of performances. Tobermorite, a calcium silicate hydrate found near Tobermory in 1880, was named after the town.
The fictional town of Torbay in Alistair MacLean's novel When Eight Bells Toll was based on Tobermory, and much of the 1971 movie was filmed in the town and other parts of Mull. The writer Saki gave the name to a talking cat in one of his most famous short stories and two well-loved children's TV series have made use of the town's name. Elisabeth Beresford called one of the Wombles 'Tobermory', and more recently the town played host to its almost-namesake Balamory for three years (2002–2005).
Ferries sail between Tobermory and the mainland to Kilchoan on the peninsula of Ardnamurchan, but principal access to the island is via ferry between Oban and Craignure. Craignure is some 22 miles from Tobermory. This is the main route for visitors to the island. An additional ferry route is between Lochaline on the mainland to Fishnish.
( Tobermory - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Tobermory . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Tobermory - UK

Previous visitors' comments about Water's Edge:
We had a very relaxing stay. The house provided everything we needed for lovely break. I could have looked out of the window at the beautiful view all day.
Mr Macdonald, Thurso, October 2012
The location was fantastic. What a pleasure to sit outside overlooking the Loch.
Mrs Carran, Chorley, May 2012
This was a beautiful house in a stunningly serene area. I loved that it was close enough to walk into Dunvegan yet in a quiet enough area to relax - it was perfect.
Miss Doughty, London, May 2012
The property met all our hopes and expectations and it's setting was fantastic - overlooking Loch Dunvegan. We felt so relaxed and at home in the property and we loved the goody basket left on our doorstep a couple of days after we arrived - thank you!
